Hey ZOS. Please don't do platform exclusivity.

    I'm surprised a new pet was introduced as a platform exclusive, we had this problem before with the Black Cat pet, which eventually came via a limited-time Crown Store offering. What I find interesting is why they use a new pet for this, and a Rufous Mudcrab pet for the Prima's Morrowind Collector Edition Guide, which has been used as a promo pet for the past 2 years, being used for sponsored giveaways, convention swag, the mudcrab plush, and handed out on Twitch. Either way, whilst I am not happy that this new pet is being used as a platform exclusive, it would offer some solace if we can get a comment that it is planned to be used as a promotion pet for something else too, but if it's only planned to be used for this PS4 pre-order then I am a bit concerned if I'm honest.

    I suppose this is an attempt to appease the disgruntled crowd that were kept out of the Pre-launch patch simply because they weren't playing on PC.

    This. I don't mind promos if they're available to everyone.

    Not quite. Transfers of PC items to console were possible at least, if you had been playing the game that long. This scrib is the first entirely platform-exclusive item; there's simply no way to get it.

    forgive me all - i hate those stupid non-combat pets...all dungeons and delves should be no non-combat pets allowed...

    despite my earlier comment - i do agree...particulary the coloring, and the animation on the legs is outstanding...it looks pretty sinister...

    i'm sure though, I would spend an inordinate amount of time trying to kill the flipping thing...

    Oooo so the PC eso+ loyalty rewards (striped senche) or Beta Monkey pet is not exclusive to PC? Sure we get a PS4 exclusive pet but theres still PC items on the PS4 platform that are exclusive to the PC transfers which PS4 players cannot obtain.

    Well its not like everyone is getting this. I pre-ordered the physical edition through Amazon because it gave me a 10 dollar discount and free shipping. I wont be getting this exclusive item and Im sure many more wont either.

    Whoop! Free pet!

    In all seriousness though I think they should give it to Xbox players to and make it so that PC players can get it through some other means, like say the crown store. It wouldn't hurt me and I know how it feels to not be able to get things at all *chough* dwemer sphere pet *chough*.

    The game wasn't out on PS4 when those items were released, and anyone who was playing had the option to transfer. If you missed the boat to do so, you missed the boat.

    It wasn't exclusive since, as you said, you can see and use those items on PS4. This is different. Figured after the Whiterun Wolfhound and Black Cat exclusives they would've knocked this off by now.
